The legal team representing Donald Trump filed an appeal late Wednesday afternoon challenging an earlier ruling by Colorado’s supreme court in December that found the former president was ineligible to appear on 2024 presidential primary ballots.

“This Court,” the filing reads, should “summarily reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling, and return the right to vote for their candidate of choice to the voters.”

“The question of eligibility to serve as President of the United States is properly reserved for Congress, not the state courts, to consider and decide. By considering the question of President Trump’s eligibility and barring him from the ballot, the Colorado Supreme Court arrogated Congress’ authority.”

On December 19, the Colorado supreme court ruled that Trump should be barred from the 2024 presidential state ballots by citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified after the Civil War to disqualify former Confederates from office.

The section outlines that:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
